Way too Cool

Louise is too good to be true. Funny, hip, full of stories, of tatoos and of style. Pffffff, No, it doesn’t piss me off at all how much she’s got going for her.

The first time I saw her, I practically jumped on top of her to get her picture. At the time, she was a brunette. The second time our paths crossed, I practically jumped on top of her to ask her where her amazing red came from. The response? It’s simply that her hairdresser is one of her best friends. Nope, don’t tell me it does, because there’s no way this is making me angry.

But just wait, what’s with her outfits? Oh yeah, there, ehhhh… No biggie, just that Louise works with Acne and so she gets to wear all their pieces before they hit the shelves, like this silk bermuda tie-die. Yeah, like that!

NO, DON’T TELL ME SHE PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T AT ALL. I love Louise and we’re going to grab a couple drinks tonight in a New York dive bar. Yep… she’s no snob.

Oh my my, her style is striking. Garance, you have such an eye for faces. I hope you had a fabulous time in NYC, I’m heading there for an adventure myself in one week (from Australia) and your beautiful post has me dreaming of potential friends and Atomica wedges. I can’t wait.

She’s a stunner, with that casual natural style that’s so hard to replicate—the definition of “je ne sais quoi” mais non? Her tattoo is beautifully articulated, but I’m enough of an old fart that when I see these gorgeous young girls covered in ink (and believe me, the coolest girls are working in coffee shops downtown, I can’t help but wonder what those tats are going to look like when they’re 50 or 60?

Merci Garance for referencing this post again! She convinced me to go red a few years back – This was the exact photo I brought in for reference!! And you’re right – red is extremely high maintenance – but it was fun while it lasted!!
